Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm remembering the day, I was just a girl

Thinking how cool this is, "My man is calling from jail!"

I know I was naïve, a fool in love

And looking back it was doomed to fail, life was too tough

[Verse 2]

Feels like a million years ago

(But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward)

Great season, stolen alcohol

We were so young

[Verse 3]

We could have been kings and queens

We could have been anything

We could have gone far in the world

When I was your girl

Two diamonds from the gutter

[Verse 4]

We could have been kings and queens

We could have lived all our dreams

If I could have set you free, I would, believe me

But we didn't get it right this time

[Verse 5]

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

[Verse 6]

Come to your mama's house, I'd stay too late

I get in trouble and they're sending out the search party

I think you ended it, 'bout fourteen times

Just for the thrill of gettin' back together after the fight

[Verse 7]

Feels like a million years ago

(But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward)

Great season, stolen alcohol

We were so young

[Verse 8]

We could have been kings and queens

We could have been anything

We could have gone far in the world

When I was your girl

Two diamonds from the gutter

[Verse 9]

We could have been kings and queens

We could have lived all our dreams

If I could have set you free, I would, believe me

But we didn't get it right this time

[Verse 10]

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

[Verse 11]

And I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward

But I hope you're well, got what you wanted

You still cross my mind, are you ok?

I pray you'll get it right next time

[Verse 12]

So maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

Maybe we'll be better next time (life, life, life, life, life, life)

[Verse 13]

We could have been kings and queens

We could have been anything

We could have gone far in the world

When I was your girl

Two diamonds from the gutter

[Verse 14]

We could have been kings and queens

We could have lived all our dreams

If I could have set you free, I would, believe me

But we didn't get it right this time

[Verse 15]

Maybe in another life
